All ISRO Mechanical & Aerospace papers | ISRO Mechanical & Aerospace 2013

An engine operates between temperature limits of 900K and T and T and 400K. For both to be equally efficient, the value of T will be

  • A. 700 K
  • B. 600 K
  • C. 750 K
  • D. 650 K

Answer: B. 600 K

Explanation: For equal efficiency, T is the geometric mean: T = \sqrt{T_H T_L} = \sqrt{900 * 400} = \sqrt{360000} = 600 K.
